Rubbish and Recycling
More things to recycle
Did you know that paper and cardboard make up 25% of all the rubbish you put into your bin and now Oldham householders can recycle all of it!
Residents can now put Tetra Paks, i.e. all drinks cartons into their paper and card recycling bag. All you need to do is to make sure that the carton is empty, take off the plastic lid (if it has one) and then flatten the carton. It can then be placed into the recyling bag, which is emptied every fortnight.
All residents are now being delivered a No-Blo Bag to recycle paper and cardboard, but don't throw away your Green Bag. If you have any extra paper and cardboard for recycling you can still use your Green Sack, which will be placed inside your No-Blo Bag when it is emptied, to stop it blowing away.
Oldham Council’s Waste Minimisation Officer Jo Stanley said ”Oldham residents are really trying hard to recycle as much as they can. We are collecting about 500 tonnes of paper and card a month and now we collect Tetra Paks we can recycle even more!”.
